Yeah, but Dallas has had Republican mayors periodically even over the last fifteen years+ (ex: Tom Leppert). Since the early 80's it's been about 5 to 4 overall. Compare that to SF, who haven't had a Republican mayor since before the 1960's.

California has laws that don't help, but SF picked the wrong horse in regards to ideology, which shapes their approach to dealing with crises. I don't believe that the city is somehow powerless in regards to better policy-making. Even the housing stuff could be dealt with if they just admitted they had a real problem and worked to solve it. But the city has consistently rejected proposals for new types of public housing from various interest groups. So....*shrug*.

I realize you’re hellbent on making this about political parties, but it really isn’t, which was my point.

The parties are a factor here, but the issues go back further so I'm not disagreeing with you completely.

Lazio ultras want to ban women from 'sacred space' at team's Rome stadium

This is the club for you, Charles.

That's pretty epic.

you'll see hell freeze over (from man made climate change) before a conservative supports that

in fact you can see that the proposed 2019 federal budget is taking a sledgehammer to public housing

Thank God you’ll be at the polls on Election Day to stop this tyranny

If he puts a trigger warning on the box itll be okay.
